$ read -n 100 a b <<< 'x y'; declare -p a b
declare -- a="x"
declare -- b="y"
$ read -N 100 a b <<< 'x y'; declare -p a b
declare -- a="x y
"
declare -- b=""
>From my understanding of the documentation, read -N should ignore the
delimiter (-d), not the IFS. If the current behaviour is correct, a
better wording may be helpful.
